How to choose a PPL: Optical modelling and image shaping-roles in spectacle lens design - online webinar for IOA Members

Webinar Sydney time: Friday 13th September 8:30pm Saturday 14th September 6:00am

In the next part of the free online sessions for the International Opticians Association, past international optician of the year winner Grant Hannaford of the Academy of Advanced Ophthalmic Optics will discuss a hot topic in the optics world .

Progressive power lenses are now the dominant form of lens correction for presbyopia in the developed world. While they have a long history of successful implementation, recent developments in the application of freeform generation and understanding of the variability in human ocular biometry have opened new opportunities for the development of highly customised PPL designs. In this talk he will examine:

*Best form for lens designs and progressive power surfaces

*The biometry of the human ocular environment and how it interacts with lens design

*Strategies for manipulating existing lens parameters for optimising PPL lens designs

*Pathways for implementing biometry in spectacle lens design and anticipated outcomes for the patient

There are two sessions to accommodate time zones around the world. CPD hour is accredited for UK, pending for Australia and New Zealand. A certificate will be issued to all attendees.
